  ### 3. It's an outstanding cloud file sharing platform.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 25, 2021

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Digital Pigeon gives ease of making file transfer. App interface is super easy to use!

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

I highly recommend this tool if you are searching for a secure and easy cloud file sharing platform.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Try it!

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Recipient activity tracking.

  ### 4. Great Interface and Easy to Use

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** February 23, 2021

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Interface is nice as it uses the full screen rather than covering the page with menus and drop downs tabs.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Sometimes the text (such as a persons email) is hard to read, but rarely.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Uploading media to clients and colleagues.

  ### 5. The most thought through approach to large file transfer

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** steve b. | CEO/producer/researcher, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 04, 2019

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

The speed, the previews generated, the email notifications about every aspect of the transfer including when the files are accessed and by whom, the flexible storage options and the review of the files on a mobile app. The customer service from the team is also brilliant - with follow-up enquiries about the level of service and how it can be improved.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Sometimes the uploads pause with no explanation (this could always be a local connectivity issue) and the current lack of plug-ins for other high file size apps like Photoshop or NLEs like Premiere and Final Cut. These are small gripes though. The service is the best of its kind that I've found.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Just see how it improves your workflow.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm sending large files to clients every day, so need a service I can access through a browser as well as a program. The ability to brand these is very appealing but more important is the constant monitoring of progress that the email notifications facilitate. It is so good to learn who has accessed the files and when, especially when I've sent files to a predefined group, which the program remembers - also useful with ongoing projects. The ability to handle a variety of file sizes and types enhances the value of the service and I really like the option to extend the already long period that the file stays live, allowing me to re-send batches of material to clients who have lost or mislaid the original upload, something which is a constant problem on projects with a lot of files flying around.

  ### 6. Fantastic platform for receiving and sending files

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** James B. | Post Production Manager, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 11, 2019

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

The ease of use, ability to customise the platform and how clean and responsive the UX is. We deliver all our video files through this platform and it's drastically improved our ability to track files, sending and share them with clients and track that they've received them successfully.


**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Would appreciate a warning before I quit the app during transfers, happens sometimes where I shut it down prematurely without thinking.

Sometimes clients will 'Download All' resulting in a ZIP file and (due to Australia's average overall internet) the ZIP file can finish prematurely but looks to be complete, despite having a much smaller file size than anticipated which is corrupted. Wouldn't say that's much of a Digital Pigeon issue though as that relies on browsers handling downloads properly. 

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Previously, it was difficult to track the delivery of our mastered video files. There'd be dozens of individual email links and the one hub where all our files lived was messy and hard to navigate. We couldn't choose when files expired either.

Now all our video files are easy to sort through, expiration dates can be customised and it's simpler to navigate who gets notified when files are provided to us or clients download their files.

  ### 7. Best choice we ever made...

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul S. | Video Content Producer (Shooter / Editor), Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I like that it's helped us replace multiple pieces of software and cloud solutions, it tracks every time a file is accessed and allows us to receive files via a custom webpage portal from our suppliers.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

That sometimes the emails sent from DP don't always reach clients - but that also has a lot to do with the strength of their IT system as well.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Give them a try - especially if you're in the media industry - the creators have a background that gives you reassurance they know what they're doing !

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Gives us just the one piece of software/a cloud solution that's geared towards audio and video, which is our mainstay.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Thanks for the great review Paul.

The problem with email delivery stems from Digital Pigeon sending email on behalf of an Account Owner (our customer).

The destination mail servers sometimes filter these emails out, or incorrectly identify them as promotional material.

The best solution is to configure Digital Pigeon to use your mail server.
 
The article below outlines the steps involved in doing this.

  ### 8. Excellent customer service, functionality, price and speed.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Josh M. | Senior Art Director / Designer / Partner, Media Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 19, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

No unnecessary bells and whistles, a perfect balance between really intuitive, versatile functionality & easy to use mixed with speeds I haven't seen matched elsewhere. Customer service has been second to none with very specific requests being addressed & implemented within weeks.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

The user interface could be more easy on the eyes, however it doesn't get in the way.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Digital Pigeon solved a longstanding issue with sharing video / other files with clients, in a simple, powerful way.

  ### 9. Fantastic file sharing  - quick easy & trackable!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Massive files can be shared very securely and easily. Many other services will throttle your delivery speed or number of downloads once you hit a certain threshold for sharing large files, but they don't tell you what that threshold will be until you hit it. 

It helps with my resource planning as well to be able to see when certain people have reviewed shared files, allowing me to plan my projects even more easily.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

I haven't figured out how to easily structure, and folder my files. Making it easy to place in multiple version when reviews come through, but allow me to go back and review old versions while a project is still active.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

It is a fast and reliable distribution of our content, with the extremely useful feature of being noticed when any of these access my file. Plus preview feature, of course...

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Hi, thanks so much for the awesome review.  In regards to folder structures, we have some guides here which will help you - https://digitalpigeon.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/sections/360000036135-Folder-File-Management

I hope that answers your question, but if not, email our support team and we'll get back to you ASAP.  Thanks, Paul

  ### 10. Your client review delivery method search ends here. 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tim H. | Freelance Senior Editor, Flame Artist, Director, Producer & Photographer, Media Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 14, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Ease of use, view notifications, speed. Uploads are much faster than WeTransfer, Hightail or Dropbox, and you can have the app notify you when your client/recipient views their file - this alone makes it worthwhile! Fantastic customisable branded interface gives your business a professional look. And most importantly, it's very easy to use!! 

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

At this stage, can't import gmail contacts. Also, no android app. Major Bummer! Hopefully this will change soon. 

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Just do it!

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

The fact you can be notified when a client views their file is a big one for me. They can then share it amongst their recipients (this is also customisable) with your branding still intact too. It's solid, I've never had an error. And you can keep your files on the server for as long as you like. (plan dependent)
Another hidden surprise - you can easily stream the file on your phone quickly - the app downconverts a high res file for quick playback on a mobile device. 

  ### 11. Great service - it's my file mover of choice

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Karl G. | Software development manager, Information Technology and Services, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 02, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I've been using digital pigeon for work and pleasure for more years and it is quick, responsive and did everything I needed to just work.  It's nice having stuff that just works.  They have been quick and informative to any support emails also

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

I couldn't figure out how to get a rendered movie file I had to send to my daughters iPad for her school assignment to download instead of just stream and play.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

File moving to synch large objects with our offshore staff.  Simple, cheap and efficient.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Hi Karl, 

Thanks for the review.

It should be as straightforward as pressing the 'download' button.  However, you will require another app installed on the iPad that can handle local storage.  I believe this is just the way iOS handles things.  

Feel free to email us at help@digitialpigeon.com and we can investigate this further if you need!  Thanks again! 

  ### 12. Best FTP software on the market

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul D. | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** October 01, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Ease of use. The interface makes transfer of large files extremely easy. You can complete your correspondence without having to wait for large files to upload. And edit content of a mail AFTER it has been sent. Great FTP platform.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Nothing. Always been solid and robust. platform. Never had a single issue.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

try it. Buy it.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Transferring large files in a secure manner offsite.

  ### 13. My experiences using Digital Pigeon

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Michael L. | Chief Beancounter / Occasional Orthosis Wrangler, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

The speed and the reliability, and the ability to customise the notifications to suit my requirements.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

There's not much to dislike - but I did have a big project recently with over 40 videos and it would have been handy to be able to share a project folder? Rather than sharing the files individually...maybe I'm just a noob and there's already a way to do this?

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Very reliable, very quick and great support team (who always send an email just to check in)...

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

File delivery and security/confidentiality.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Thanks for the great review Michael.

Projects are something we are interested in doing.  Until then, you may like to see how to work with folders in an existing upload.

  ### 14. Super Simple, Super effective

**Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chay M. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I use Digital Pigeon multiple times daily. It's so simple to use, give you plenty of sharing options (expiry dates, permissions, previews etc) and being able to see when/if people have looked at your files is great too.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Could do with some additional plan options since we often go over our monthly quota, but overage costs are very low. So not a big issue

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting our work to clients in a way that is simple for us to send and looks good for them to receive.

  ### 15. Digital Pigeon is the best file transfer solution

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Non-Profit Organization Management | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** September 05, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Ability to brand your transfers gives a very professional look and ability to track behaviour of the receivers of files. also the ability to set up a link for other collaborators to share files with you on the same platform  is a great plus. A very comprehensive and feature rich solution.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Nothing really though i just haven't worked out how to move a file from my received files to a sending file where i'm replacing the previous file. I guess i'll work this out in due course. Nothing apart from this has cropped up so far.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Highly recommended in comparison to other options for video transfer such as Dropbox etc

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Being able to get a professional presentation transmitted to guys in the field and on the move. The preview is also exceptional and can be used directly to share a presentation although at low res. All in all far more satisfactory than other tools such as dropbox.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Thank you for the great review!

To answer the challenge you are having, if you want to forward files you have received, simply click Options in the top right hand corner and then "forward all files". 

However, if that's not exactly what you were looking to do - please email us at help@digitalpigeon.com and we'll get to the bottom of it! :)




  ### 16. The best file transferring service by far

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Steve K. | Mastering Engineer, Music, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I've tried a number of file transferring services for my business and Digital Pigeon is by far - THE BEST! I've had zero issues from clients and the system integrates wonderfully with my website. The support is also excellent. 

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

So far I have found nothing to dislike. 

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I need to transfer very large files to and from clients quickly and reliably. Digital Pigeon does this very well. The widget system means that it integrates seamlessly into my website so that clients aren't redirected elsewhere. 

  ### 17. The absolute best file sharing company bar none

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** John B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Digital Pigeon stand alone at the pinnacle of file sharing companies.  While other companies promise the world, Digital pigeon actually deliver and here's why.  

Massive files can be shared very securely and faster than by any other means in a highly customizable interface in a truly unlimited way. Many other services will throttle your delivery speed or number of downloads once you hit a certain threshold for sharing large files, but they don't tell you what that threshold will be until you hit it.



**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Sometimes I have a folder with thousands of files and because of their file structure system you can't upload these files at a root level.  It's simple to fix by just embedding them in a folder before uploading but I do forget sometimes !

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

compare the maximum file size you can upload.  Even the unlimited services you'll find do have limits if you have to share a large file with a lot of people.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

1. The only company that let's you have very large individual files.  I have some single Quicktimes that are larger than 10Gb.  All the other file sharing companies choke on very large files.

2.  Personalised sharing and uploads.  They allow you to highly customise and create your own page for sharing individual files.

3.  No limits or throttling on downloads of large files when you share large files with many people.

4.  Able to display almost every kind of visual file. Even obscure file formats like DNG come up in a web page to view. and plenty of options for video file playback interface.

  ### 18. Excellent Product

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Andrew H. | Studio Manager, Media Production, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Download and upload speeds are always fantastic. Can always rely on safe delivery of files.
Love being able to easily preview files before download and also being able to keep files on the server for 12 months!

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

The software and website are fantastic - it would be great to see a dedicated mobile app however.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Digital Pigeon enables us to send and keep track of big media files without a hassle.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Thanks for the great review Andrew! We have a mobile app for iOS which can be downloaded here.  https://www.digitalpigeon.com/features/digital-pigeon-apps/



  ### 19. Fast efficient and they listen

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Media Production | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 04, 2016

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Love the speed, the reliability, the ease of use but best of all is the customer service. If you ever have any questions or concerns the response times are amazing. As a company we have tried all the digital delivery systems and this one stands out by a mile.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Nothing really, it just works smoothly and efficiently.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Give it a go...you won't regret it!

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Obviously the need for couriers has disappeared from our business, but working on projects with overseas clients it's great to have the ability to upload to various overseas servers

  ### 20. Great way to send and receive assets to clients

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Shane R. | Online Editor, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** May 04, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I like that I can send any file type...not only Quicktime movies...but audio files or project files.  I'm not limited only to upload video for clients to review, I can get them elements of the projects as well.  And I LOVE that we get notifications when a client accesses and downloads or views what we post.  Because then you can either remind them when a lot of time has passed when you posted it, or prod them for notes if too much time is passing, and the clients can't lie and say "Oh, i haven't seen it yet."  

I like that I don't need to tie it to clients. I don't need to authorize a select few people to "collaborate" with.  I have my regular clients, and then I have the occasional one-off clients that I need to send things to...and I don't need to add them to any collaboration list, I just add their email and they can see it. They can also forward the email to other to view.  

And I can use it to send my mom and dad a quick video of the kids without posting it to YouTube...give them something to download.

I like that things remain on the server for a specified time of my choosing. Either the default 90 days, or indefinitely.  Up to me. As I have clients who consistently need to access a file, who don't download things.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

File size limits are too low. Other comparable options have larger limits...but they are clumsier to use.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Better than DROPBOX, by a lot

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I'm solving getting video files to clients to watch, and to download and watch, or keep...without needing to post on VIMEO or YOUTUBE and password protect.  I can get them not only video files, but data files as well, project files, or music, or pictures.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Thanks so much for the review Shane!  Good news - we actually have functionality where you can receive large files!  We will get in touch with you via email with instructions on what you can do to receive files from your clients.  Thanks again.

  ### 21. Usefull site for everyday needs!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Marketing and Advertising | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

The layout is very simple and user friendly. It can be the simplest of task or you can really create your own link that is catered for specific clients. 

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

The new log in I feel is pointless. Its used to have email and password as one and now its email then enter and the password box appears. Don't see any point in it really. 

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

its great!

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

I am able to quickly get videos and documents to multiple people at once and able to see when they have received it and they can easily reply to my links. 

  ### 22. The only filesharing service I use! 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Daisy H. | Casting Director, Entertainment, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

The ease of use, the overall layout, the instant updates between people you share the files with...it's just brilliant. I also like the customisation for video files. 

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Ooh, I've not found something about Digital Pigeon that I dislike, there's hardly anything! 

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We share our files smarter, faster and easier. I can't count the time I've saved since switching over. 

  ### 23. Digital Pigeon rules!

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Tonči B. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 23, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I looove everything about it! I cannot imagine my work without it! How otherwise could I distribute my show on so many TVs in a blink of an eye? How could I not be amazed by the fact that I'm instantly noticed when any one of these access my file? And I know that they appreciate the possibility to preview the file before downloading it!

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

Actually, nothing. But if you want more characters, I'll repeat: actually, nothing! :)

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

I absolutely recommend it!

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

As I said, fast and reliable distribution of my show to quite a lot of TV stations, with the extremely useful feature of being noticed when any of these access my file. Plus preview feature, of course... and last but not least, months of accessibility to my files.

  ### 24. Helps my website design an digital marketing agency business more than I could have imagined

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Paul E. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 26, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Being able to send clients their own upload link so that I can receive files from them is our main use for this tool.  For web agencies, getting content from clients is always the hardest part of a project.  Digital Pigeon makes the management of this so much simpler.  

I also like receiving alerts when things are happening via Slack.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

I have no issues with the software.  It's obviously incredibly fast and reliable - and it just works.   

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Getting large amounts of content from clients.  Without a doubt, this has made the whole process simpler.  But we know you use it to send work to our clients with their own branding.  They always comment on how professional the file service is and like that's it intuitive.  

  ### 25. Digital pigeon is most excellent 

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Emil W. | Senior Designer, Events Services, Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** August 16, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Notification of when client has viewed files

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

The files are archived after a certain amount of time but if I want to just delete them it seems to still add them to the archive

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Remote client approval and delivery of digital files. A much, much better way of working than dropbox or wetransfer.

**Official Response from Paul Evans:**

> Hi Emil,

  ### 26. Fastest and most elegant file transfer service around

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Darius F. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 03, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

Firstly, you cant look past the sheer speed of the uploads and downloads. We've used everything and honestly, nothing else can compete. Digital Pigeon will use as much bandwidth as you can throw at it. We're using a Fibre 100/40 connection and are sending files ranging from a few hundred megs up to 200GB at a time. Speed is important for us as a business because our clients don't like to wait (and to be honest, neither do we).

Secondly, it looks great. All our download pages are custom branded and recipients receive nicely formatted emails when they have files to access. It makes for a really slick user experience for our own customers, and it helps maintain our brand.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

There isn't anything that we dislike, more just features that we would love to see in the future. eg. Keyboard shortcuts in the desktop app, integration with a ITTT service etc. But these are all cherries on top.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

If you use WeTransfer, Dropbox, Hightail etc to send files, then you'll be amazed by how fast and reliable Digital Pigeon is. And the people receiving the files will love it too.

This software has become a core tool for us at Post Lab IO and we use it every day on every single job. We're a services business and the product our customers take away are FILES. So the way in which our customers receive their files from us is super important. 

Everyone I've recommended this to has loved it, and its becoming the default tool of choice for post-production companies in Melbourne. 

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

Large file transfers, file access and video previews have always been the bane of post-production. Our processes with clients are very repetitive, we export a video, upload to a video sharing service, send them a link. When you're doing this dozen of times a day, and for multiple clients, it starts to get messy. And you lose out on our own brand to whichever video sharing site you use. With DP, the time-consuming part is automated, we export the video and drop it into DP, its up and away within minutes and the client gets an email.

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Chris W. | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** April 05, 2018

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I love that we have been able to set up a simple system that entrants to our film competition can use to deliver their films without first needing to contact us or set up file delivery systems etc. I wanted a drag and drop system that was as easy as YouTube and it's turned out to be even easier which is crucial for the range of entrants we have.

**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

I don't dislike anything about Digital Pigeon. They are a responsive service who have bent over backwards to assist our organisation and I'm pleased to be associated with them.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

It's fast, simple and reliable so I highly recommend it.

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

We needed a simple delivery system that didn't require excessive management on our part and was simple for film-makers to use. Digital Pigeon's system has released us from confusing set-ups that don't work well for the film-makers or us.

The Pigeon, is great, it's easy to use, either from iphones or computers.

We have a few people accessing the pigeon at our end and we can't see who's downloaded the files, so sometimes get confusing for our staff.  Would love a feature to be able to see that files have been downloaded.

This is great software, 1000 times easier and better than dropbox...

**Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars

**Reviewed by:** Verified User in Photography | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.)

**Reviewed Date:** March 03, 2016

**What do you like best about Digital Pigeon?**

I'm a photographer and 99% of my workflow is digital, so sending image proofs and large files is something I do everyday and Digital Pigeon just makes the process so freaking easy. 

The desktop app works well, and being able to send a download link to my clients where they can actually see, edit and markup the images is invaluable.

I like how this product is tailored to creative professionals like me, whereas every other product I've tried in this field seems to be for corporates.



**What do you dislike about Digital Pigeon?**

For the most part nothing, it runs like a dream, looks good and is fast. 

If i had one bugbear it would be that I'd like the interface to be more visual (for visual people), not so word heavy.

**Recommendations to others considering Digital Pigeon:**

Though it's on the pricier side, the reliability, design and functionality make it highly recommended (and I have recommended it many, many times).

**What problems is Digital Pigeon solving and how is that benefiting you?**

DP allows me to send jobs out fast, reliably whilst looking good to my clients.
